There is a particularly wealthy family in the world called the Rockefeller family, and by now, their family wealth has been inherited to the sixth generation.
john k D. Rockefeller was the first generation of the Rockefeller family, known as the "oil king", and the world's first billionaire.
Rockefeller was not only a successful businessman, but he was also a godson father, and the wealth of the Rockefeller family was naturally inseparable from the teaching of generation to generation.
Rockefeller wrote 38 letters to his son, and these letters contained a lot of wisdom in life. Next, I'll share some of Rockefeller's thinking with you, hoping to help you unlock the code of wealth.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="5" >1, don't let your spirit go bankrupt</h1>
Rockefeller once said to his son, "If you declare a spiritual bankruptcy, you lose everything." Failure is a learning experience that you can make a tombstone or you can make it a stepping stone. ”
Many people are afraid of failure, or even dare not face failure, in the face of failure, you yourself first admit it, then your failure has become fate.
Everyone's life will not be smooth, even if you are a genius, you will encounter all kinds of setbacks, such as failing exams, missing opportunities, failing to start a business and so on.
In the face of failures and challenges, some people go forward bravely, and some people are sad, painful, depressed, complaining, and immersed in a vicious circle.
Whether it is success or failure, we must learn to maintain a good mental state, not proud when successful, not withered when failing, in order to become the biggest winner. This is a kind of tenacity that a person should have.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="11" >2, only abandonment leads to failure</h1>
"When we have difficulties, we have to fight one more round."
The road of life must no longer be a 100-meter sprint, but a marathon for a lifetime. Therefore, the key to success in life is not in the instant explosion, but in the persistence of your journey.
The same is true of success and failure, poverty and wealth, which is actually a contest of wills.
A psychological study shows that all those who have achieved success have higher self-consciousness, decisiveness, persistence, and self-control than ordinary people, and the successful people and the rich have a kind of perseverance.
Giving up is too simple, as long as you want, you can give up, and giving up will lead to a full loss. And success requires you to persist for one more minute, and there will be hope without giving up.
Persistence is a habit, and at the same time, giving up is also. Once you give up, you will breed a lot of abandonment, so that the success that could have been achieved leads to failure.
Whether you stick with it or give up depends on your perseverance and determination.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="19" >3, learn to be patient, patience is a strategy</h1>
"In this world, there are many people and things that we need to endure, but there are too many people and things that tempt us to be emotional."
Learn to be patient, and you will be able to win life.
As the old saying goes: "If you can't bear it, you will be chaotic and conspiratorial." "You should never underestimate the matter of patience, people who know patience are a manifestation of taoguang and obscurity, and they know how to tolerate and retreat for a short time in order to obtain greater benefits." Only those who are short-sighted will be impatient.
Between success and failure, it often depends on who is more tolerant. When you are faced with a difficult situation and do not know how to be good, perhaps for a short period of patience, you can turn the situation around. Because things are constantly changing and developing, it is a good idea to find and wait for a turnaround in patience.
What ordinary people cannot do, endure what others cannot tolerate. Only one day, can we become a superior person.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="25" >4, know how to think strategically</h1>
Rockefeller said to his son: "The essence of strategy is flexible, long-term, multi-faceted, and large-scale. To be a great leader, we have to make ourselves a strategic thinker. ”
Strategic thinking often helps us think outside the box and think at a higher level and from a broader perspective, and it prevents us from losing our sense of direction.
Those who do not seek the world are not enough to seek a moment; those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain. Strategic thinking can help us grasp the general direction of things and do the right thing.
Therefore, in daily life, each of us needs to consciously cultivate our own strategic thinking.
